Week 19

I am now 150.2 lbs which means I have lost 28.2lbs since I started this journey! Being back in Taiwan has really helped to boost my weight lose again. IT SO HOT and HUMID here that it's like living in a sauna. I have been swimming and surfing alot to keep cool and playing soccer at night with friends. Loving life!

Week 18

My boot camp friends

Owner and Trainer Chris Garcia! I've learned soooo much from him this past month! Thanks a million.
153.8... that is what I weight! I was discouraged that I didn't break the 50's while in America until I got a body fat composition analysis done at Pure Living Fitness. Though I am still over weight by .7 on my BMI (which I think is about 4 lbs), my lean body mass (muscle) is exactly spot on. It said that I needed to gain 0.01 of muscle. haha! I need to lose 16.1 lbs of fat to be at my ultimatum health. VERY INFORMATIVE. Lots of good numbers to know too.
Also another encouraging thing was that I tried on a pair shorts that I brought with me from Taiwan that didn't quite fit me and they fit perfect now. Though I haven't seen much difference on the scale I can see it in my clothes. That's nice!
I am headed back to Taiwan in just a couple of hours. Looking forward to getting back into a regular routine. Vacation isn't a great time to eat healthy. I always lose about 5 pounds my first month back in Taiwan because of the heat and stress of a new school year and playing soccer.

Week 17

Picture from last week in South Carolina.
Same, Same I weighted 152.7 again this morning. I was actually worried that I had gained weight while on my South Carolina because I wasn't exercising much and ate a few times off my diet. Going to work real hard this next week to see how "low I can go".
Oh, and I highlighted my hair! That was a big step for me because I thought I would never dye my hair again after a bad hair dying session in high school. However, I love it this time. Takes so getting used too but I wanted to do something different and step outside my comfort zone.

15 1/2 weeks (My vacation within my vacation)

I thought that since I am going to be traveling again for a week and using a different scale I would just record today's sucess and then wait till next week to see what the scale says that I have been using. So... 152.7 this morning. That means I have lost 25.7 pounds so far.
I have never worked out so hard before. Boot Camp is literally kicking my bum. I love it though. The boot camp group and trainers feel like extended family aready. I am going to miss them while I am away on vacation to South Carolina this week. However, I am not going to miss the exercise part of that equation. (I will be exercising however... taking Ripped in 30 and Weight Lose Yoga with me.)
I am a little disappointed that the weight is still coming off so slow after all this hard work... but bottom line it is coming off. I am only 2.8 pounds away from a healthy BMI. That is my goal now. Before I go to Taiwan I want to see at least 149.9. Thanks for reading and supporting me.
